I remember having these bars often at youth get togethers when I was a teenager but never made them myself until after I was married. Just about everytime I take them somewhere, someone asks for the recipe. They are perfect for peanut butter & chocolate lovers like me. :)

Cream together margarine and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing well. Add flour, cocoa and baking powder. Spread in a greased 9 x 13 inch pan and bake at 350 degrees for 15 min. Remove from oven and sprinkle marshmallows over top. Return to oven for 3 minutes. In large saucepan, melt chocolate with peanut butter. Add crispy rice cereal and spread over top of baked mixture. Refrigerate or put in cool place. Cut into bars.
